Not a fan

Since we watched The Benchwarmers, we have a new catchphrase in our house: Not a fan! (and you have to say it in the goofy high-pitched manner for it to work) ... but I digress. It was the first thing to pop into my mind with the Rosie O'Donnell-Donald Trump feud that is going on.

I'm not a fan of Trump. For one thing, he stole my catch-phrase. I've been telling people "you're fired" since 1996. Then, he started the show and bam, my phrase is always attributed to him. But, again, I digress.

I have not been a fan of Rosie's for many years. I interviewed a little girl in Midland who was picked for a show on Nick about weight issues and Rosie (go figure) was the host for the show. The girl's mom told me how fake and rude Rosie was. She would act all concerned and sweet to the children when the CNN cameras (who were doing some news piece on Rosie) were on. When the cameras weren't running, she was reportedly a bitch. And, apparently, she was rude to all of the parents and made it clear to them that she didn't have time to sign an autograph for them or even chat with them. It has just gone downhill from there. Of course, her politics and mine couldn't be farther apart either.

But, her comments that fat women everywhere were offering her words of comfort cuz Donald called her fat just made me cringe. I'm not petite any more, but I have no sympathy for her and her hateful words. You expect that crap from Trump. But, she can't seem to let it go either. If you're so above this little feud,why don't you be the big person (pun intended) and let it go? No? I'm not surprised.
